Photographer Mirko Pieruccioni, used a drone to catch the images of the grey horses

The 38-year-old, who organises workshops and photo tours in the region, wanted to express the beauty of the animals as they ran through the lagoon.

He said: "My favourite pictures are those where the horses are sideways shot, because these highlight their power while running in the shallow waters of the lagoon, surrounded by the beautiful colours of the water."

The result is eye-catching snaps showing the scene from a different viewpoint.
